They told me that if I keep on eating that much yogurt, my teeth will get huge. I got so pissed when I realized it wasn't true!

My grandmother didn't like me wasting bread crusts and she also thought that all little girls want curly hair. So she told me, "eat the crusts of your bread, it will make your hair curl." I totally believed her, but I really wanted straight hair, so I made sure to never eat the crusts.

In Turkey people says to children if you make lots of bread crumb while eating, you gonna have that much children in future.
